The Aggieville Community Vision has been growing over the last 5-10 years and because of that growth we have seen unprecedented change with construction, renovation and demolition. But as of recently that change has taken a turn for the worst regarding the price for parking that employees have to pay. As of January 17, 2023 the city has started charging for people to park in the garage. Due to this new charge the city has created a parking pass for employees but will be charging $25 a month for it.
Some believe this is too much of a cost and the parking should be free. Listen and look at what some of the employees think at the link above. Aggieville part-time employees share their opinions on the new $25 a month parking garage pass2/7/2023
 Riley Shubert is a part-time employee at Taco Lucha and Fat's Bar & Grill. She has worked at Taco Lucha for the past two years and has been impacted personally by the construction and new parking laws that have implemented a $25 a month charge for employees to park in the parking garage. She says that it is "messed up" As for The Dusty Bookshelf Employee, Averie Thurston; she thinks that the city cares more about the money than the citizens.  In an interview with Wildcat Electronic Media, Averie said "The city cares more about the money than the citizens. The other day I parked at city park and it was night, and I was kind of scared because of drunk college kids; whatever. That wouldn't be an issue if they just let us park in the garage"

With a goal of defying predictable Black History Month TV and radio programming, Wildcat 91.9 encouraged its students to create powerful and meaningful moments to educate and inspire. This year features music curated by Wildcat 91.9 and Kansas State University student Negil McPherson III.
McPherson, a senior, said he started making music during his senior year of high school, mostly rap and alternative tracks. “It had always been something I wanted to do, but I didn’t have any practical experience outside of my own personal work and passion projects.” After learning about Wildcat 91.9’s initiative, McPherson was able to create one of those passion projects in just under a week. “The Black History Month idea came around because faculty advisor Ian Punnett and I discussed Black History Month programming for the station," McPherson said. "He thought it would be cool to utilize powerful Black speeches in some capacity and sent me 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' by Gil Scott-Heron as inspiration.” From that, McPherson discovered the famous “David and Goliath” speech by Jesse Jackson. “I loved his metaphor referring to the young, impressionable minds of people of color as ‘rocks just lying around’ and that we have the potential to do something incredible.” So far, McPherson’s “speech-to-music” project has aired on Wildcat 91.9 and, as of next week, also on Manhattan’s Power Hits 97.5, QCountry 103.5 and Country Rewind 92.7. “I really hope the listeners will listen and appreciate the incredible and powerful Black speakers throughout history,” McPherson said. “I plan to make this a series throughout the month and score soundbites for listeners to enjoy and be educated. I want to highlight some of the most incredible and inspiring speeches I've heard…and want people to appreciate important Black figures and educate themselves on more than just the typical people you would read about in class.” The first installment of this projected four-part series is live now on Wildcat 91.9-FM, and three more songs will be produced and out for listening throughout the rest of February.
